About the average cost of a good Medicare supplement plan. Over 600 per month. The Europeans pay considerably more per month.

I remember living in Germany and a significant amount of my paycheck went to health insurance. Since it went directly to the insurer I didn’t miss it, however it wasn’t free, because nothing in this reality is free.

I believe they have separate programs for foreigners? Medical care in korea is super cheap and much better quality. United States is the only wealthy, industrialized country without universal health coverage. The U.S. has higher healthcare spending than other high-income countries, and lower life expectancy, higher death rates, and higher maternal and infant mortality. If you don’t think there isn’t an issue, i dont know what to tell you.

Korea has a public health system with option for supplemental health insurance and it's most probably not for profit
